Euthanasia can be catagorized as voluntary, non-voluntary, or involuntary. Also passive and active euthanaisa is named depending on the way the procedure is conducted.
Voluntary Euthanasia is a term used in the situation where the patient has agreed to the practice of euthanasia, which means that euthanasia is conducted with the consent of the patient.
Non-voluntary Euthanasia is where the consent of the patient is unavailable. It is mostly illegal worldwide but is discriminalised in certain countries under special circumstances.
Involuntary euthanasia is when euthanasia is conducted against the will of the patient.
Passive euthanasia is done by withholding common treatments which are necessary for the continuance of life.
Active euthanasia is a term which entails the use of lethal substances or forces to kill and is the most controversial means.
When a random person think about euthanasia they mostly refer to the active euthanasia category. But there are many categories of euthanasia to consider for legalization.

Hey Tae,
ReplyDeleteJust reading your blog,
I don't understand your view on Euthanasia is? Are you describing the types and then in future you're going to debate what causes it?
An introduction would be most helpful to gain a grasp on what your take on this is :-)
Thanks
Allan
